The Hottest Hotties

AfterElton has released their Hot 100 List...it's kind of like People's Sexiest Man Alive, but much less gay. There are the requisite anomalies on the list (Gale Harold makes the Top 5, while George Clooney is at #92? Christian Bale is hotter than Patrick Wilson? Zach Braff is hot, really?) and some blatantly obvious choices (surprise, Gyllenhaal at #1!). But dig deeper and it becomes a pretty fascinating list. Who knew that gay men lusted after so many cast members of Lost and Heroes (including Sylar)? Then there's the color barrier -- only two African-Americans make the Top 40 (#5 Taye Diggs, #28 Shemar Moore) and only two Latinos as well (#16 Mario Lopez, #17 Gael Garcia Bernal). Among the missing: actors Ben Affleck, Colin Farrell, Vin Diesel, and Charlie Hunnam; musicians Pete Wentz, Lenny Kravitz and Jon Bon Jovi; and all of those Dieux du Stade boys. I guess there's an expiration past-due date on those French rugby boys. Here's how the Hot Guys fared:#2. Chris Evans#3. Daniel Craig#6. Ryan Reynolds#9. Ryan Phillippe#12. Brad Pitt#13. Chris Meloni#16. Mario Lopez#17. Gael Garcia Bernal 2#25. Jamie Bamber#27. Tom Welling#32. Anderson Cooper#43. Jensen Atwood#57. Jeremy Piven#65. LL Cool J#75. Jake Shears#76. Matt Damon#88.
